JAKARTA - United States (US) President Donald Trump will make a decision in the next two weeks regarding plans to help Israel attack Iran.

That may not be a definite time limit, as Trump usually uses "two weeks" as a time frame for making decisions.

The Iranian-Israeli war has been going on for a week with the latest attack targeting Israeli hospitals on Thursday, June 19.

Meanwhile, Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi have spoken by telephone several times since last week, sources said.

Israel has been attacking Iran from the air since last Friday in an attempt to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. Iran denies plans to develop the weapon and has retaliated by launching a counter-attack against Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tehran's tyranny would pay a "full price" for the attack that damaged the Soroka medical center in Israel's Beersheba city "Are we targeting the fall of the regime? That may be the result, but it is up to the Iranian people to rise for their freedom," Netanyahu said.

Israeli military spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin accused Iran of deliberately targeting civilians in hospital attacks using missiles that spread smaller bombs into wider areas. It was the use of the first bunch of munitions reported in a war that had lasted for seven days.

Meanwhile, Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it was targeting Israel's military and intelligence headquarters near the hospital.

An Israeli military official denied any military targets nearby.
